Hey guys, I really need help with deciding where I’m gonna go to college. I got into both USNA and Johns Hopkins and I can see myself attending both but they will lead me down very different paths. Here are my thoughts about going to each school.
USNA:
JHU
USNA:
- I will be able to major in Cyber Operations and possibly double major with Comp Sci (I’m not sure how viable this is)
- I love the location of Annapolis and prefer it to JHU
- Attending USNA for free is huge positive for me and my family
- I will be able to tryout and hopefully play a D1 sport (but not guaranteed yet)
- I really don’t mind the strictness of USNA because I’m not at all interested in partying and stuff like that
- I am prepared as a leader after being captain of two sports teams
- long lasting friends and more of a sense of community
- Shorter holidays and breaks
- serve 5 years after graduation
- Limited academic opportunities such as internships and study abroad (or not?)
- *Important note that my primarily goal/motivation is not to be part of the military but instead the other benefits that attending USNA has
JHU
- Globally recognized as one of the best universities in the world
- I know JHU is primarily know for medicine but Undergraduate computer science still ranked highly
- will be able to play D3 sport
- More free time, Longer breaks
- more research opportunities
- location is worse but not a big factor in my decision
- decent financial aid given but have to pay quite a bit more than USNA
